Upcoming Frequent Flyer Solutions webinar... |
International Travel During COVID-19 |
8pm (AEST) on Tuesday, 27 July 2021 |
Since the beginning of the pandemic, travelling in or out of Australia has become a huge challenge. Even if you have a very good reason to need to travel overseas, it's no longer as simple as booking a plane ticket.
Theoretically, Australian citizens and permanent residents have a right to return home (albeit with 14 days of hotel quarantine upon arrival). But with tens of tens of thousands of Australians still stranded overseas, and limited arrival caps, getting a spot on a commercial flight has proven very difficult.
The upcoming Frequent Flyer Solutions webinar will explain how to maximise your chances of successfully returning to Australia. It will also outline the process of applying for a travel exemption to leave Australia, navigating pre-flight COVID test requirements, and more.
For many Australians with itchy feet, New Zealand is currently the only realistic overseas destination. This webinar will also cover the Trans-Tasman Travel Bubble and explore what's next for Australia’s international border arrangements.
This online webinar hosted by Matt Graham will take place at 8pm (AEST) on Tuesday, 27 July 2021! To attend, you must register in advance.
